Summary

Bath County High School in Owingsville serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 604 students in the Bath County community. Its latest test results are above the state in five of six subjects, and its graduation rate is 99%; the most important concern is chronic absenteeism, at 49%, more than twice the state rate of 24%.

Science is the school’s clearest academic strength: 32% of students met the state benchmark, compared with 23% statewide, and Bath led the average of nearby Rowan County Senior High School, Menifee County High School, and Montgomery County High School by 13 percentage points. Bath also exceeded the state in reading, writing, math, and editing and mechanics, and matched it in social studies—the relative weak spot. Its writing result of 50% was below Rowan’s 55%, despite leading the three-school average. Graduation matches the Bath County district and exceeds the state’s 94%. Attendance is less favorable: Bath’s 49% chronic absenteeism is higher than the district’s 39% and each of those nearby schools, whose rates range from 28% to 45%.

Results show both recovery and unevenness: math rose from 21% in 2023–24 to 43% in 2025–26, and science climbed 11 percentage points from the prior year, while social studies fell 14 points from its earliest reported result. SchoolDigger ranks Bath 82nd of 262 Kentucky schools, at the 69th percentile with 3 stars, up from the 25th percentile in 2021–22; the district ranks at the 34th percentile with 2 stars. Bath’s 15.4 students per teacher (2024–25) is lower than the nearby peers’ ratios, which average 18.7. Its free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 73% in 2024–25, above those three peers. SchoolDigger’s 2024–25 effectiveness measure placed special education students at the 92nd percentile, compared with 52nd percentile overall—a notable result for that group, though it followed a 45th-percentile result the year before.
